Re: Fully functional email address

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hiya,

As far as the subject line goes: I think we ought be accommodating
if we can and not try insist that a few people who make odd choices
about email all have whatever we consider 'fully functioning email'
(but that we haven't documented;-).

I know of a handful of IETF participants (maybe 4-5) who make useful
contributions and where one has to jump through hoops to have an
email conversation. I think that's fine.

In the current case, where such a person is appealing WG/AD actions,
then I think we should go even further to accommodate them, because
that is the right thing to do.

As it happens, today, that seems to me to have gotten easier than it
was 5+ years ago. Could be I've gotten luckier with hosters though.
(A previous one hadn't enough staff to stop spammers getting onto
their IP ranges now and then, which did cause annoyance.)

Cheers,
